New AB clip — Aug 17 1968 American Bandstand Spotlight Dance segment with a throwback pick — 1966's Jimmy Mack by Martha & The Vendellas. The drop at the intro is pretty amazing. Songwriting masterpiece overall. AB regular Frank Vanderpull is featured on this clip tearing it up with a variety of moves.

Plus full commercial break! And more throwback footage from the special Anniversary episode. Cool to see what was happening in '68. looking back to the late 50s & early 60s.

From Songfacts — "recorded in 1964 but was shelved from release.. This gave the song a different meaning to listeners, many of whom had loved ones being sent overseas.. written and produced by Motown's main creative team of Lamont Dozier and the brothers Brian and Eddie Holland.".
